The Bucks County District Attorney Office is proud to announce that Deputy Chief Michael Mosiniak, the head of the Detectives Drug Strike Force Unit, recently completed the FBI-Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (LEEDA) Trilogy, a dynamic and innovative leadership training program.
Mosiniak was awarded the Trilogy after completing advanced training in three weeklong FBI-LEEDA supervisory training courses, Chief Martin F. McDonough said in announcing the accomplishment to the office on Tuesday.
Mosiniak completed the final of the three courses on Aug. 21 at the Bucks County Police Training Center. He said law enforcement officers from Bucks, Montgomery and Lehigh counties also participated in the training course, which he described as challenging with very good instructors from around the country.
“These courses prepare you for leadership in 21st century policing and they teach very current tenets of leadership and different philosophies," Mosiniak said. "It’s a good program and definitely prepares you for different roles.”
The training courses covered a variety of topics, including leadership case studies, performance and risk management, command discipline and liability, bias and diversity, social and emotional intelligence, and public trust.
Each of the three training courses – the Supervisor Leadership Institute, the Command Leadership Institute and the Executive Leadership Institute – were five days long, with intensive and immersive programs designed for law enforcement supervisors.
FBI–LEEDA is a nonprofit with the majority of members being chief executive officers of law enforcement agencies, directors and commissioners of public safety, and elected sheriffs throughout the U.S. and several foreign countries. The organization is comprised of over 7,000 law enforcement leaders representing all 50 states and 14 different countries, according to the organization's website.
Its mission is to advance the science and art of law enforcement leadership and promote the exchange of information to improve law enforcement management practices through training, education, and networking among police professionals, according to the organization's website.
District Attorney Matt Weintraub congratulated Mosiniak on the well-earned accomplishment and his commitment to furthering his leadership skills.
“I’ve seen Deputy Chief Mosiniak’s leadership and command skills in action first-hand as he successfully marshalled over 200 federal, state and local law enforcement officers on the ground during our Solebury quadruple homicide investigation and recovery a few summers ago," Weintraub said. "He continues to lead our Bucks County Drug Strike Force as they battle the drug dealing organizations plaguing our community. Congratulations, and well-earned!”
